What I understand from various threads is that audio transformers (we're
talking about output ones) are mostly there to balance the signal... I also
undestand that using Xformers is sonically worse than not using them...
My questions a
1) are there other ways for balancing an unbalanced signal?
2) so manufacturers use Xformers to colour the sound?
3) What coloured sound means? Distorsion?
4) do Xformers make the sound bigger but innatural?

What about interstage transformers?

These may be stupid questions but I'm getting kind of confused on this
topic...
Thanks for the replies.
